Karim Rashid's Kit 24 House Unveiled at The Interior Design Show

Karim Rashids Kit 24 House Unveiled at The Interior Design Show
Celebrated designer Karim Rashid unveiled his concept space, created specifically for The Interior Design Show.

Kit 24 is a house produced with simple, minimal parts and tooling. Rashid's environment is composed of a few repeated parts that assemble a 24-sided house, but it is also a metaphor for time and is based on a 24-hour day.

This 1,800 square foot two-level experimental space explores the domestic environment and its intersection with technology.

It is a Kit of few repeated parts to assemble a 24-sided house. But it is also a metaphor for time.

The house is based on the 24-hour day cycle from the living and working space on the ground floor to sleeping quarters on the second level.

"I have always loved the idea of a Kit house," says Rashid.

"The concept has been approached by engineers and architects throughout the years. I wanted to show the contemporary approach, a really positive, interesting and artistic space for living inspired by technology."

"It also provides a venue to show many of my furnishings and objects; although all quite different from each other, they can cohabitate a space to communicate an organic, pleasurable environment."
